The two countries enter a ratification process that will take months, so the formal entry into the alliance will not arrive until the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023.
Euskaraz irakurri: Sweden and Finland NATOko kide will say ‘de facto’
Sweden and Finland have signed this Tuesday the protocol of accession to NATO, for which they become de facto members of the military alliance pending formal ratification.
The 30 allies have signed the document in which they support the acceptance of the entry of the two countries to the military organization. This entry comes after the summit that took place last week in Madrid, in which the negotiations with Turkey to lift its veto were completed, after a month of blockade.
Even so, once the agreement is signed, the Turkish authorities have insisted that Sweden and Finland must commit to the document, and have threatened to once again block their accession at the ratification stage.
Now a bureaucratic procedure begins with the accession protocols of each ally. Each country has a different validation system, so the ratification phase will take months. Therefore, the formal entry of Sweden and Finland will not arrive until late 2022 or early 2023.
